Microsoft released the Visual C++ feature
pack,
which brings an updated MFC and -- the best part -- TR1 support to C++!
No more looking for std::tr1::shared_ptr or std::tr1::unordered_set.
Woho! Only problem is the installation currently fails if you are using
a non-english Windows, the workaround is quite simple though: Go to the
language options and set the format to English, and the location to USA.
No need to change the UI language itself (on Vista).
